Albemarle County police are searching for a man they say opened fire in the Barracks West Apartment complex Tuesday night.

Police were called out to the 400 block of Burgoyne Road for a report of shots fired around 10:40 p.m. Tuesday, October 30. They found a 19-year-old man inside an apartment suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

The victim was transported to the University of Virginia Medical Center in stable condition.

Officers say at least three shots were fired, striking several cars in the parking lot of the apartment complex.

Witnesses say the gunman got away before police arrived on the scene.

"We had officers not only here at the scene but also checking the complex, and so at this point we don't think there’s any other danger. Obviously, if someone sees something… if you see something, say something. But at this point we think that the suspect got away," said Albemarle County Police Sgt. Sean Hackney.

Police describe the suspect as a thin, tall, black male wearing a mask and dark clothing. Additionally, it is believe the shooting was an isolated incident.

The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact Albemarle County Police Detective Andrew Holmes at 434-296-5807 or Crime Stoppers at 434-977-4000.
